Chapter - 2 Overview of Mining Activity in the District

 Availability of Minerals

Due to its varied geological structure, West Bengal is endowed with a wide variety of mineral resources. West Bengal falls into the North-Eastern Plateau region along with Jharkhand, Odisha and Chattisgarh. However, Nadia district is not rich in mineral. During the field survey, few small wetlands has been identified as source of filler earth, alluvial soil and the parent material is Ganga alluvium Admixture of sand, silt and clay, which is useful for brick manufacturing or as filling purposes. These wetlands/deltas are mostly used by local villagers for agricultural purpose.

 BRICK EARTH:- Silt Earth Brick manufacturing process in West Bengal was started in way back 200 years ago during English regime. Presently more than 15000 such Brick Manufacturing units are operating in W.B. These units are producing approximately 1200 million Bricks per year which is 70% of the total requirement. Way back since 1936, mostly Silt collection ponds are recorded as ‘IT-KHOLA” on ROR (Right of Record) i.e in revenue record of W.B Govt. till date.

STEPS INVOLVED IN BRICK MANUFACTURING

Manufacturing of bricks consists of the following 4 operations or steps.

1. Preparation of brick clay or brick earth 2. Moulding of bricks 3. Air drying of bricks 4. Burning of bricks

Chapter - 6 Process of Deposition of Sediments In The Rivers of The District

 Classifying Rivers - Three Stages of River Development

These categories are: Youthful, Mature and Old age. A Rejuvenated River, one with a gradient that is raised by the earth’s movement, can be an old age river that returns to a Youthful State, and which repeats the cycle of stages once again.

Characteristics found in the 3 Stages of River Development:

YOUTHFUL RIVER-

Perhaps the most dynamic of all rivers is a Youthful River. Characteristically youthful rivers are found at higher elevations, in mountainous areas, where the slope of the land is steeper. Water that flows over such a landscape will flow very fast. Youthful rivers can be a tributary of a larger and older river, hundreds of miles away and, in fact, they may be close to the headwaters (the beginning) of that larger river.

MATURE RIVER:-

The Mature River is an in-between stage. The river still down cuts though to a much lesser degree than the Youthful River does but it also erodes laterally, though not as extensively, when compared to the Old Age River. The landscape over which it passes is steep enough that the river's slope enables a velocity capable of moving not only the finer sediments, but also the larger pebbles and cobbles by way of rolling, bouncing and saltation along the river bed. The area through which the river flows may be mountainous but they will not be as high as the Young River's locale. A "hilly" landscape would be a better description for the

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District surrounding area. Rapids are absent and so is the V-shaped channel. The channel of a Mature River is U-shaped but deeper than and not as wide as the Old Age river's channel.

OLD AGE RIVER:-

Old rivers flow slowest and their rate of erosion is encounter acted by the degree of sediment they deposit. Their course is no longer straight and widened floodplains are a common characteristic. An old river rests in an almost flat valley as a result of the many years of erosion that have taken place.

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

 STREAM EROSION AND DEPOSITION:-

Flowing water is a very important mechanism for both erosion and deposition. Water flow in a stream is primarily related to the stream’s gradient, but it is also controlled by the geometry of the stream channel. As shown in Figure 2, water flow velocity is decreased by friction along the stream bed, so it is slowest at the bottom and edges and fastest near the surface and in the middle. In fact, the velocity just below the surface is typically a little higher than right at the surface because of friction between the water and the air. On a curved section of a stream, flow is fastest on the outside and slowest on the inside.

Figure 2: The relative velocity of stream flow depending on whether the stream channel is straight or curved (left), and with respect to the water depth (right).

Other factors that affect stream-water velocity are the size of sediments on the stream bed — because large particles tend to slow the flow more than small ones — and the discharge or volume of water passing a point in a unit of time (e.g., m3/second). During a flood, the water level always rises, so there is more cross-sectional area for the water to flow in; however, as long as a river remains confined to its channel, the velocity of the water flow also increases.

Figure 3 shows the nature of sediment transportation in a stream. Large particles rest on the bottom — bedload — and may only be moved during rapid flows under flood conditions. They can be moved by saltation (bouncing) and by traction (being pushed along by the force of the flow).

Smaller particles may rest on the bottom some of the time, where they can be moved by saltation and traction, but they can also be held in suspension in the flowing water, especially at higher velocities. As you know from intuition and from experience, streams that flow fast tend to be turbulent (flow paths are chaotic and the water surface appears rough) and the water may be muddy, while those that flow more slowly tend to have laminar flow (straight- line flow and a smooth water surface) and clear water. Turbulent flow is more effective than laminar flow at keeping sediments in suspension.

Stream water also has a dissolved load, which represents (on average) about 15% of the mass of material transported, and includes ions such as calcium (Ca+2) and chloride (Cl-) in solution. The solubility of these ions is not affected by flow velocity.

Figure 3: Modes of transportation of sediments and dissolved ions (represented by red dots with + and – signs) in a stream. [SE]

The faster the water is flowing, the larger the particles that can be kept in suspension and transported within the flowing water. However, as Swedish geographer Filip Hjulström discovered in the 1940s, the relationship between grain size and the likelihood of a grain being eroded, transported, or deposited is not as simple as one might imagine. Consider, for example, a 1 mm grain of sand. If it is resting on the bottom, it will remain there until the velocity is high enough to erode it, around 20 cm/s. But once it is in suspension, that same 1 mm particle will remain in suspension as long as the velocity doesn’t drop below 10 cm/s. For a 10 mm gravel grain, the velocity is 105 cm/s to be eroded from the bed but only 80 cm/s to remain in suspension.

Figure 4: The Hjulström-Sundborg diagram showing the relationships between particle size and the tendency to be eroded, transported, or deposited at different current velocities

On the other hand, a 0.01 mm silt particle only needs a velocity of 0.1 cm/s to remain in suspension, but requires 60 cm/s to be eroded. In other words, a tiny silt grain requires a

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 69

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District greater velocity to be eroded than a grain of sand that is 100 times larger! For clay-sized particles, the discrepancy is even greater. In a stream, the most easily eroded particles are small sand grains between 0.2 mm. and 0.5 mm. Anything smaller or larger requires a higher water velocity to be eroded and entrained in the flow. The main reason for this is that small particles, and especially the tiny grains of clay, have a strong tendency to stick together, and so are difficult to erode from the stream bed.

It is important to be aware that a stream can both erode and deposit sediments at the same time. At 100 cm/s, for example, silt, sand, and medium gravel will be eroded from the stream bed and transported in suspension, coarse gravel will be held in suspension, pebbles will be both transported and deposited, and cobbles and boulders will remain stationary on the stream bed.

A stream typically reaches its greatest velocity when it is close to flooding over its banks. This is known as the bank-full stage, as shown in Figure 5. As soon as the flooding stream overtops its banks and occupies the wide area of its flood plain, the water has a much larger area to flow through and the velocity drops significantly. At this point, sediment that was being carried by the high-velocity water is deposited near the edge of the channel, forming a natural bank or levée.

Figure 5: The development of natural levées during flooding of a stream. The sediments of the levée become increasingly fine away from the stream channel, and even finer sediments — clay, silt, and fine sand — are deposited across most of the flood plain. [SE]

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

 Flood Plain:-

Flood-plain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river which stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls, and which experiences flooding during periods of high discharge. The soils usually consist of clays, silts, and sands deposited during floods.

Floodplains are formed when a meander erodes sideways as it travels downstream. When a river breaks its banks, it leaves behind layers of alluvium (silt). These gradually build up to create the floor of the plain. Floodplains generally contain unconsolidated sediments, often extending below the bed of the stream. These are accumulations of sand, gravel, loam, silt, and/or clay, and are often important aquifers, the water drawn from them being pre- filtered compared to the water in the river.

 Replenishment of Sand :-

The deposition in a river bed is more pronounced during rainy season although the quantum of deposition varies from stream to stream depending upon numbers of factors such as catchment, lithology, discharge, river profile and geomorphology of the river course where annual deposition is one meters, but it is noticed that during flood season whole of the pit so excavated is completely filled up and as such the excavated area is replenished with new harvest of minerals.

In order to calculate the mineral deposits in the stream beds, the mineral constituents have been categorized as clay, silt, sand, bajri and boulder. However during present calculation, the waste material i.e. silt which vary from 10 to 20% in different streams has also been included in the total production. Further the Survey of India Topo-Sheets are used as base map to know the extent of river course. The mineral reserves have been calculated only upto 1.00 meter depth although there are some portions in the river beds such as channel bars, point bars and central islands where the annual deposition is raising the level of river bed

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 71

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District thus causing shifting of the rivers towards banks resulting in to cutting of banks and at such locations, removal of this material upto the bed level is essential to control the river flow in its central part to check the bank cutting. While calculating the mineral potentials, the mineral deposits lying in the sub- tributaries of that particular stream/river has not been taken into consideration. Since these mineral deposits are adding annually.

 Surface Runoff

Also known as overland flow is the flow that occurs when excess storm water, melt water, or other sources flows over the Earth's surface. This might occur because soil is saturated to full capacity, because rain arrives more quickly than soil can absorb it, or because impervious areas (roofs and pavement) send their runoff to surrounding soil that cannot absorb all of it. Surface runoff is a major component of the water cycle. It is the primary agent in soil erosion by water. Runoff that occurs on the ground surface before reaching a channel is also called a nonpoint source. If a nonpoint source contains man-made contaminants, or natural forms of pollution (such as rotting leaves) the runoff is called nonpoint source pollution. A land area which produces runoff that drains to a common point is called a drainage basin. When runoff flows along the ground, it can pick up soil contaminants including petroleum, pesticides, or fertilizers that become discharge or nonpoint source pollution. In addition to causing water erosion and pollution, surface runoff in urban areas is a primary cause of urban flooding which can result in property damage, damp and mold in basements, and street flooding.

 Effects of Surface Runoff:-

Erosion and deposition Surface runoff can cause erosion of the Earth's surface; eroded material may be deposited a considerable distance away. There are four main types of soil erosion by water:  Splash Erosion,  Sheet Erosion,  Rill Erosion,  Gully Erosion. Splash erosion is the result of mechanical collision of raindrops with the soil surface: soil particles which are dislodged by the impact then move with the surface runoff. Sheet erosion is the overland transport of sediment by runoff without a well-defined channel. Soil surface roughness causes may cause runoff to become concentrated into narrower flow paths: as these incise, the small but well-defined channels which are formed are known as rills. These channels can be as small as one centimeter wide or as large as several meters. If runoff continue to incise and enlarge rills, they may eventually grow to become gullies.

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

Figure 6: Soil erosion by water on intensively-tilled farmland.

Gully erosion can transport large amounts of eroded material in a small time period.

Reduced crop productivity usually results from erosion, and these effects are studied in the field of soil conservation. The soil particles carried in runoff vary in size from about .001 millimeter to 1.0 millimeter in diameter. Larger particles settle over short transport distances, whereas small particles can be carried over long distances suspended in the water column. There are many sediment transport equations which are suitable for use in the prediction of the replenishment rate of rivers/ watershed. Some of the Famous sediment transport equations are: ‐

1. Dandy – Bolton Equation 2. Yang Equations 3. Engelund‐Hansen Equation 4. Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE)  DANDY ‐ BOLTON EQUATION

Dandy Bolton formula is often used to calculate the sedimentation yield. But use of these equations to predict sediment yield for a specific location would be unwise because of the wide variability caused by local factors not considered in the equations development. However, they may provide a quick, rough approximation of mean sediment yields on a regional basis for preliminary watershed planning. Computed sediment yields normally would be low for highly erosive areas and high for well stabilized drainage basins with high plant density because the equations are derived from average values. The equations express the general relationships between sediment yield, runoff, and drainage area. Many variables influence sediment yield from a drainage basin. They include climate, drainage area, soils, geology, topography, vegetation and land use. The effect of any of these variables may vary greatly from one geographic location to another, and the relative importance of controlling factors often varies within a given land resource area. Studies revealed that sediment yield per unit area generally decreases as drainage area increases. As drainage area increases, average land slopes usually decrease; and

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 73

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District there is less probability of an intense rainstorm over the entire basin. Both phenomena tend to decrease sediment yield per unit area. In arid regions, sparse precipitation and low run‐off are the limiting factors. As precipitation increases, density of vegetation also increases, resulting in less erosion. In areas with adequate and evenly distributed precipitation, vegetation thus becomes the limiting factor. The accuracy of the sedimentation surveys varied, ranging from reconnaissance type measurements of sediment deposits to detailed surveys consisting of closely spaced cross‐sections or contours. Runoff data are translated to inches per year per unit area and sediment deposition data to tons per year per square mile of net drainage area. Net drainage area is defined as the sediment‐contributing area and normally excluded areas above upstream reservoirs or other structures that were effective sediment traps. Actual sediment yields undoubtedly were slightly higher because most reservoirs do not trap inflowing sediment. Sediment Yield vs. Drainage Area: ‐ On the average, sediment yield is inversely proportional to the 0.16 power of drainage area between 1 and 30,000 square miles. Sediment Yield vs. Runoff: ‐ Sediment yield increased sharply to about 1,860 tons per square mile per year as run‐off increased from 0 to about 2 inches. As runoff increased from 2 to about 50 inches, sediment yield decreased exponentially. Because sediment yield must approach zero as runoff approaches zero, a curve through the plotted points must begin at the origin. The abrupt change in slope of a curve through the data points at Q equals 2 inches

Precluded the development of a continuous function that would adequately define this relationship. Thus, there are two equations derived for when Q was less than 2 inches and when Q was greater than 2 inches.

 Combined Effect of Drainage area and Surface Run off on Sediment Yield

Dandy‐ Bolton determined the combined influence of runoff and drainage area on sediment yield to compute the sediment yield. They developed two equations i.e. for run off less than 2 inch and for run off more than 2 inch, which are given below:‐ Where: S = Sediment yield (tons/sq miles/yr) Q = Mean Annual runoff (inch) A = Net drainage are in sq mile For run off less than 2 inch. (Q<2in) S=1289*(Q) 0.46*[1.43-0.26 Log (A)] F For run off more than 2 inches. (Q > 2 in): S= 1958*(e ‐0.055*Q)*[1.43‐0.26 Log (A)]

 UNIVERSAL SOIL LOSS EQUATION

Sediment loss from water erosion Modeling sediment loss MUSLE is a modification of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). USLE is an estimate of sheet and rill soil movement down a uniform slope using rain- fall energy as the erosive force acting on the soil (Wischmeier and Smith 1978). Depending on soil characteristics (texture, structure, organic matter, and permeability), some soils erode easily while others are inherently more resistant to the erosive action of rain- fall. MUSLE is similar to USLE except for the energy component. USLE depends strictly upon

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District rainfall as the source of erosive energy. MUSLE uses storm-based runoff volumes and runoff peak flows to simulate erosion and sediment yield (Williams 1995). The use of runoff variables rather than rainfall erosivity as the driving force enables MUSLE to estimate sediment yields for individual storm events. The water erosion model uses an equation of the form:

Y X EK CVF PE SL ROKF where: Y = sediment yield in tons per hectare EK = soil erodibility factor CVF = crop management factor that captures the relative effectiveness of soil and crop management systems in preventing soil loss PE = erosion control practice factor (including management practices such as terraces, contour farming, and strip cropping) SL = slope length and steepness factor ROKF = coarse fragment factor For estimating MUSLE, the energy factor, X, is represented by 0.56 0.12 X 1.58p6 Qq  WSA

where: Q = runoff volume in millimeters qp = peak runoff rate in millimeters per hour WSA = watershed area in hectares

Runoff volume is estimated using the SCS curve number method. Peak flow was estimated using a modification of the rational method which relates rainfall to peak flow on a proportional basis. The rational equation is: q C i A

where: q = peak flow rate C = runoff coefficient representing watershed characteristics i = rainfall intensity for the watershed’s time of concentration A = watershed area

Chapter - 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE DISTRICT

 River System

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 76

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

The whole district is a network of number of rivers and streams. The district is located in the lower part of the Ganga Basin. District has four important rivers

 Bhagirathi River  Mathabhanga River 

Bhagirathi River- Bhagirathi River, river in West Bengal state, northeastern India, forming the western boundary of the -Brahmaputra delta. A distributary of the Ganges (Ganga) River, it leaves that river just northeast of Jangipur, flows south, and joins the Jalangi at Nabadwip to form the Hugli (Hooghly) River after a total course of 120 miles (190 km). Until the 16th century, when the Ganges shifted eastward to the Padma, the Bhagirathi formed the original bed of the Ganges. Its banks sheltered the great ancient capitals of Bengal, and the river is held sacred by the . A bridge at Baharampur spans the Bhagirathi.

Mathabhanga River- The Mathabhanga or Hauli, whose lower reach is called the Haulia, leaves the Padma about ten miles below the point where the Jalangi leaves from it. It flows first in a southeasterly direction as far as Hatboalia, where it bifurcates one branch, which is thereafter known as the Kumar or Pangasi, it then proceeds in the same direction, past Alamdanga, up to the boundary of the district which it forms for a few miles until it passes into Jessore, whilst the other branch pursues a very tortuous course. The general trend of which is to the south, until, after passing Chuadanga it reaches Krishnaganj (in India). There a second bifurcation takes place, the two resulting streams being known as the Churni and the Ichamati, and the name of the parent river being lost. It borderline's between India and Bangladesh

Churni River- River Churni is a stream in the Nadia district of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is a distributary of the Mathabhanga River, itself a distributary of the at Munshiganj in the Kushtia District of Bangladesh. The Mathabanga divides into two rivers, the Ichamati and the Churni near Majhdia in Nadia district. The Churni flows through Shibnivas, Hanskhali, Birnagar, Aranghata, and Ranaghat, and finally joins River Bhagirathi at Shivpur,Nadia-Hooghly near Chakdaha. Its length is almost 56 kilometres (35 mi).

Ichamati River- Ichamati River (also spelt Ichhamati), is a trans-boundary river which flows through India and Bangladesh and also forms the boundary between the two countries. The river is facing the problem of siltation leading to thin flow of water in the dry season and floods in the rainy season. The Mathabhanga River originates from the right bank of the Padma, at Munshiganj in Kushtia District in Bangladesh. It bifurcates near Majidia in Nadia District in India, creating two rivers, Ichamati and Churni.

Jalangi River- Jalangi River is a branch of the Ganges river in Murshidabad and Nadia districts in the Indian state of West Bengal. It flows into the Bhagirathi river and strengthens its lower channel, the Hooghly. The river below the point where the Jalangi meets the Ganges is known as Hooghly and the course above it from the point of its separation from the main flow of the Ganges to its confluence with the Jalangi, it is called Bhagirathi. The Jalangi is a modern stream, but its age is not known. Apparently it opened up long after the Bhairab River ran as a strong stream in a south easterly direction. Although it is generally believed that the river has opened up within the last few hundred years, there is no direct evidence of this.

 Climate

The district is characterized by hot and humid climate. It receives adequate rainfall from southwest monsoon, which sets in the later half of June and withdraws by the middle of October. Premonsoon rains are received during March- April. Max and Min temp as recoreded are 430C and 100C, with annual rainfall of 1259.4 mm.  Geomorphology The district is an extensive alluvial plain possessing the characteristics of younger flood plain. Elevation ranges from 28.84 m above mean sea level (near-Jairampur, block Karimpur) to 5.48 m above mean sea level (near Pamila, block- Haringhata). Numerous small rivers and abandoned river causes are interspersed throughout the district with a number of depressions meander scars, Ox- Bow lakes, point bars etc.

BETHUADHARI WILD LIFE SANCTURY

Bethuadahari Wildlife Sanctuary is situated in the Bethuadahari town (Nakashipara area) of Nadia District, West Bengal, India. The sanctuary is located beside National Highway 34. The sanctuary covers 67 hectares, and was established in 1980 to preserve a portion of the central Gangetic alluvial zone

 Flora and Fauna of Bethudhari Wild Life Sanctury The sanctuary has a large population of spotted deer (chital), jackal, Bengal fox, porcupine, and common langur. Bird species include parakeets, Indian cuckoos, barbets and other smaller birds, while reptiles and amphibians include pythons, monitor lizards and gharials, a type of small crocodile. The sanctuary is wonderful space for beginner photographers, tourists etc. All should visit the place occasionally. The amazing rock python is the greatest attraction of the forest. As of the 1995 census, it had 297 chital deer. Among the trees found within the sanctuary are shal, teak, arjun, Indian rosewood, and bamboo. In West Bengal emphasis has been given to conservation and management of sustainable resources in order to achieve the goal of long-term biodiversity conservation. The over all strategy involves protection of critical habitats of endangered species. The strategies also focus on improved PA management, development of infrastructure, habitat improvement programme, reduction of man animal conflict, capacity building and involvement of local people in management of PA areas.The Bengal wilderness is also home of an array of highly endangered species like the Asian Elephant , Great one horned Rhino, Serow, Red Panda, Pigmy Hog, Bengal Florican, Black Necked Crane, Great pied Hornbill, Goliath Heron, Estuarine Crocodile, Salvator Lizards, Olive Ridley Marine Turtle, rare Batagur terrapin, let alone being the habitat for most of the cats of India, e.g. Bengal Tiger and Leopard and the Clouded Leopard, Marbled Cat, Leopard Cat, Golden Cat, Jungle Cat and, Fishing Cat representing the lesser cats, etc.  Details of Reserve Forests In Nadia District: Range P.S.

The entire district is covered by thick alluvial formations and the aquifers consist mostly of sand of different grades (fine to coarse). Gravel that is in general the most important constituent of the aquifers is not playing important role in the district. As it is observed in most of the boreholes, gravel is absent and it is present in very insignificant quantity. In general three aquifer systems have been identified. The shallow aquifer exists down to a depth of 80 m, which extends up to 126 m at Tungi. The next aquifer system occurs with in the depth range of 100 to 162 m and the deepest one exists with in the depth range of 200m to 335m. In the northern part of the district groundwater flow direction is towards southwest, However in the extreme northern corner due to the presence of groundwater mound, the flow direction is towards northeast. In the western part of the district flow direction is easterly where as in the eastern part flow direction is westerly or southwesterly.

Aquifer Characteristics:- The tube wells tapping the zones at shallow and intermediate depth are yielding maximum discharge and it ranges from 3.21 lps to 6.211 lps. The tube wells taping only the intermediate / deep zones generally do not yield very high discharge. The value of Transmissivity in the district ranges from 1487.3m2 /d to 8607m2/d. The pumping tests data indicate that the value of storage co-efficient ranges from 0.74*10-3. However, at many places the top aquifers are under unconfined condition.

 Groundwater Resources:- The dynamic ground water resources of Hugli district has been estimated jointly by CGWB and SWID, Govt. of West Bengal, following the norms laid down by GEC 1997 methodology and projected as on 31.03.04. The reconciled figures are as under

Total Ground Water Resources 217234.01ham

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

 Groundwater Quality:- The chemical quality of ground water in the area in general Ca-Mg-HCO3 type. The chloride contents in ground water is 7.1 -238 mg/L. The water is mildly alkaline in nature and pH value ranges between 7.7 and 8.2. Total hardness as CaCo3 ranges from 189-380mg/L. The concentration of iron & arsenic content ranges from 0.02- 1.9 mg/L and BDL to 1.18 mg/L., the highest concentration of arsenic has been reported from Mahishbathan Village. The detailed study conducted in Jompukur village where the situation of arsenic pollution in ground water is very bad indicates that more than 80% of the shallow tube wells present in the village have been affected with high arsenic concentration is mostly confined to a depth of 20 to 80 mbgl. Water samples from ponds and dug wells up to depth of 15 mbgl have been found that arsenic content is below detection limit (0.005 mg/ L). Arsenic content in clay horizons is much more than sand horizons. Arsenic concentration of ground water from a particular tube well varies widely with time and in general it shows higher concentration during pre-monsoon period and least concentration during post monsoon period. Thus, the chemical quality of ground water in both shallow and deeper aquifer is good except in 17 blocks where sporadic occurrence ofarsenic contamination in ground water has been noticed in shallow aquifer, which is not safe for domestic purposes.

 Groundwater Management Strategy:- Groundwater Development

At present ground water development in this district mainly controlled by shallow tube wells along with some deep tube wells. As per the Ground Water Estimation Committee 1997, the total Ground water resources thus calculated is about 2,17,234.01 ham. About 165330.02 ham is being withdrawn from different purposes which is about 84.56%. Ground water draft is minimum in Nabadwip block and maximum in Chapra block. In most of the areas ground water does not show any decline in water level as depth to water level is shallow. Further development may be restricted particularly in the semi critical blocks, Tehatta-I & Tehatta-II, Chapra, Kaliganj, Karimpur-I, Karimpur-II.

 Water Conservation & Artificial Recharge:- So far no structure has been constructed by CGWB in this district.

 Ground water related issues and problems:- 1) Ground water quality problem (Geogenic) : Arsenic in ground water in sporadic manner has been identified in 17 blocks. A total population of 17,43,889 is residing in risk zone. Arsenic concentration in ground water varies from BDL-1.18 mg/ L, maximum value reported from Mahisbathan village, Karimpur block. Occurrence of arsenic in ground water is mostly confined to a depth of 20 to 80 mbgl. 2) To mitigate the above problem CGWB have carried out ground water exploration in arseniferrous tract of West Bengal. The presence of deeper arsenic free aquifer has been established in Nadia, which are capable of yielding arsenic free water. So far 22 deep tube wells has been constructed in 8 blocks, which are handed over to state agencies to supply water. 3) Apart from this , the state govt., as well as other organizations/agencies has installed arsenic removal plants and domestic filters, which are producing, free water. In some

part of the district surface water being provided by the state govt., to arsenic affected people.

 Awareness & Training Activity:- MASS AWARENESS PROGRAM (M.A.P.)-

A total two no. of mass awareness programme was conducted in this district, the details are given below:- Sl. Place (Block) No. of Theme No. Participants 1. Kalyani 150 Ground water management & rainwater harvesting.

2. Krishna nagar 250 Arsenic menace in ground water of Nadia district for its mitigation.

Water Management Training Programme (WMTP):- NIL

 Exhibition/Mela/Fair etc.- CGWB has participated in a Mela-cum-Exhibition in recent years in this district. The details are as follows:

Sl. Place (Block) Organizer Objectives No. 1. Ranaghat Bigyan Displayed various models, charts, Manch, maps prepared by CGWB to aware the West Begal common people on ground water issues.

 Area Notified by CGWB/SGWA:- List of area :Nil

 Conclusions & Recommendations:-

1. At present district has a ground water resource of 217234.01 ham of which gross ground water draft is 165330.02 ham. In most of the areas ground water does not show any decline in water levels. It means the ground water draft, being created is getting replenished at most of the places by monsoon rainfall and also from other sources like return flow from irrigation water, seepages from pond etc. 2. Cumulative potentiality of the shallow zones and those at intermediate depth are more than those at only deeper level.

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

3. In all the blocks of the district at many places shallow zones are affected by arsenic contamination and deeper zones are free from arsenic contamination. 4. Ground water contaminated by arsenic is being reported from new areas. 5. In general, apart from arsenic contamination in ground water, no other ground water quality problem has been reported. 6. Though in some blocks stages of ground water development is more than 100% but water levels are not showing in decline trend. 7. Arsenic contaminated ground water may be used only for non drinking purpose and the same may be used for drinking only after filtration / by blending with arsenic free ground water/surface water. 8. Arrangement has to be made in villages to make public aware about the wells which are yielding arsenic contaminated water. 9. Areas where ground water is contaminated by arsenic, construction of new ponds is to be encouraged for conserving rainwater and the same wherever feasible will act as a percolation tanks. Towards the down slope side of the ponds ground development structures may be constructed which will increase percolation of pond water in to ground water and it is hoped by it concentration of arsenic in ground water may reduce.

Chapter - 9 Physiography of The District

The physiography of the district is mostly plain. There are pockets of mild slopes here and there. The whole district is a number of rivers and streams. The principal rivers of the district are Bhagirathi, Jalangi and Mathahbhanga. There are few more rivers in the district viz. Ichhamati, Churni, Bhairabi and Jamuna. All the rivers flow from north to south keeping pace with general slope with district land. The district is an extensive alluvial plain possessing the characteristics of younger flood plain. Elevation ranges from 28.84 m above mean sea level (near Jairampur, block Karimpur) to 5.48 m above mean sea level (near Pamila, block Haringhata). Numerous small rivers and abandoned river causes are interspersed throughout the district with a number of depressions meander scars, Ox- Bow lakes, point bars etc. . It lies in the heart of Bengal Delta held within the arms of Ganga and Bhagirathi on the west and Mathabhanga on the North. The shape of the district is irregular lying north to south. The soil of Nadia district is classified as Gangetic alluvium and is light texture in nature. Mostly the soil is a mixture of silt and sand and does not possess much moisture retaining capacity. However, in Ranaghat Sub- Division the soil characteristics are different. The soil here is composed of clay loam and in places, the surface soil has hardened into stiff black clay. Soil reaction varies around neutral from mildly acid to mildly alkaline and crops give good response to NPK fertilizers. The maximum height of the district above sea level is 17.06 metres in the Police Station of Karimpur and the minimum is 7.31 metres in the Police Station of Chakdaha.

Chapter - 11 GEOLOGY AND THE MINERAL WEALTH OF THE AREA

The Bengal Basin in the northeastern part of Indian subcontinent, between the Indian Shield and Indo-Burman Ranges, comprises three geo-tectonic provinces: (1) The Stable Shelf; (2) The Central Deep Basin (extending from the Sylhet Trough in the northeast towards the Hatia Trough in the south); and (3) The –Tripura Fold Belt. Due to location of the basin at the juncture of three interacting plates, viz., the Indian, Burma and Tibetan (Eurasian) Plates, the basin-fill history of these geo-tectonic provinces varied considerably. Precambrian metasediments and Permian–Carboniferous rocks have been encountered only in drill holes in the stable shelf province. After Precambrian peneplanation of the Indian Shield, sedimentation in the Bengal Basin started in isolated graben-controlled basins on the basement. With the breakup of Gondwanaland in the Jurassic and Cretaceous, and northward movement of the Indian Plate, the basin started downwarping in the Early Cretaceous and sedimentation started on the stable shelf and deep basin; and since then sedimentation has been continuous for most of the basin. Subsidence of the basin can be attributed to differential adjustments of the crust, collision with the various elements of south Asia, and uplift of the eastern Himalayas and the Indo-Burman Ranges. Movements along several well-established faults were initiated following the breakup of Gondwanaland and during downwarping in the Cretaceous.

By Eocene, because of a major marine transgression, the stable shelf came under a carbonate regime, whereas the deep basinal area was dominated by deep-water sedimentation. A major switch in sedimentation pattern over the Bengal Basin occurred during the Middle Eocene to Early Miocene as a result of collision of India with the Burma and Tibetan Blocks. The influx of clastic sediment into the basin from the Himalayas to the north and the Indo-Burman Ranges to the east rapidly increased at this time; and this was followed by an increase in the rate of subsidence of the basin. At this stage, deep marine sedimentation dominated in the deep basinal part, while deep to shallow marine conditions prevailed in the eastern part of the basin. By Middle Miocene, with continuing collision events between the plates and uplift in the Himalayas and Indo-Burman Ranges, a huge influx of clastic sediments came into the basin from the northeast and east. Throughout the Miocene, the depositional settings continued to vary from deep marine in the basin to shallow and coastal marine in the marginal parts of the basin. From Pliocene onwards, large amounts of sediment were filling the Bengal Basin from the west and northwest; and major delta building processes continued to develop the present-day delta morphology.

Since the Cretaceous, architecture of the Bengal Basin has been changing due to the collision pattern and movements of the major plates in the region. However, three notable changes in basin configuration can be recognized that occurred during Early Eocene, Middle Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene times, when both the paleogeographic settings and source areas changed. The present basin configuration with the Ganges–Brahmaputra delta system on the north and the Bengal Deep Sea Fan on the south was established during the later part of Pliocene and

Pleistocene; and delta progradation since then has been strongly affected by orogeny in the eastern Himalayas. Pleistocene glacial activities in the north accompanied sea level changes in the Bay of Bengal.

Nadia District has Thick Gangetic alluvium of quaternary age conceals the sub- surface geology. However, analysis of the tube wells reveals, succession fluviatile sediments. These are composed of sand of various grades, silt, clay, gravel and kankar and their various admixtures deposited by the Ganga river and its tributaries. Clay/ Sandy to silty clay and silt cover the top 5-34 m thickness of the sediments except in the west central part of the district where fine sand and silt occur right from the top.

Chapter - 15 IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT DUE TO MINING

 For Sand Mining:-

The environmental components that are likely to be influenced or modified by the continuation of mining activities are: Air, Water, Noise, Soil, Hydrology, Ecology & Bio- diversity, Socio-economic status etc. Major activities involve in the operation phase are -

 Excavation,  Loading of material on truck by excavator  Movement of vehicle on ‘kaccha’ road of villages

 Air Pollution

In mining activity the only source of air pollution is excavation, transportation, loading and handling of minerals etc. The proposed mining operations are not anticipated to raise the concentration of pollutants beyond prescribed limits. However, the measures are suggested to mitigate the negative impact of the proposed mining activity to control the pollutants by plantation of trees along haul roads, specially near settlements, to help to reduce the impact of dust on the nearby villages; planning transportation routes of mined material so as to reach the nearest paved roads by shortest route (minimize transportation over unpaved road); regular water sprinkling on unpaved roads to avoid dust generation during transportation etc.

Emission of PM10 The major sources of PM10 emission in case of sand mining project are the loading activity at mine site (loading of material over trucks / trucks by excavators) and the movement of vehicles on unpaved haul roads. Loading of Material The excavated materials will be loaded on dumpers using excavators. Emission of PM10 due to Transportation

The hauling of minerals from the mine lease area to the end users via haul road (unpaved road) will cause emission of particulate matters. This emission will be limited to the extent of unpaved haul road starting from mining pit to nearest paved road connectivity. Emission of CO from Vehicles The excavated minerals will be transported outside the mining area for end use. The ARAI emission factors for CO emitting from heavy vehicles (diesel) is 3.92 gm/km or 6.32 g/mile. Air Emissions

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 116

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

• Dust and air emission particularly due to the excavation, construction and movement of vehicles resulting in air pollution.

• No. of PCU/Hr will increase due to mining in existing traffic scenario lead to air pollution which can cause adverse effect on human health of neighboring villagers like effect on breathing and respiratory system, damage to lung tissue, cancer and premature death, influenza or asthma.

 Noise Pollution  Noise Impact due to mining activities.  Human Noise from the machinery can cause hypertension, high stress level, hearing loss, sleep disturbance etc. due to prolonged exposure.  Increase in the existing traffic due to this mining activity may occur unwanted sound and can also cause impact on human health of neighbouring villagers like effect on breathing and respiratory system, damage to lung tissue, cancer and premature death, influenza or asthma.

 Water Pollution • Flow pattern might be changed due to river bed mining. • Mining activities depth will be increased, which may result in increase of flow velocity. • Change in surface water quality and ground water quality. • Impact on ground water recharge potential as the thickness of the natural filter materials (sediments) is reduce causing less infiltration. • Waste water discharge.

 Soil Environment  Mining activity may increase the soil erosion and soil degradation which have adverse impact on soil fertility.  Top soil extraction from outside riverbed may also affect the soil fertility and productivity.  During the flood, the soil erosion may occur.

 Solid Waste Generation / Management • Flow pattern might be changed due to river bed mining. • Mining activities depth will be increased, which may result in increase of flow velocity. • Waste water discharge.

 Land Use • The mining activity in the outside riverbed will be converted into the pit, which may cause soil erosion, soil degradation etc.  Mining in the riverbed may change complete land use pattern including channel geometry, bed elevation, sediment transportation capacity which can reduce flow of the river and downstream erosion.

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 117

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

 Hydrology • The mining in the riverbed area may cause the ground water contamination due to intersection of the water table. • Change the topography will divert the river flow. • Change in topography can change the river flow and flood may occur. • Slope of mining area will change which can create soil erosion and divert rain water runoff channel.

 Topography, Drainage and Ground water Contamination • Spillage of oil from construction / transportation vehicles and equipment.

REMEDIAL MEASURES TO MITIGATE THE Chapter - 16 IMPACT OF MINING ON THE ENVIRONMENT

 REMEDIAL MEASURES FOR SAND MINING :-  Air Environment During mining activity the only source of air pollution is excavation, transportation, loading and handling of minerals etc. However, the measures are suggested to mitigate the negative impact of the proposed mining activity to control the pollutants by plantation of trees along haul roads, specially near settlements, to help to reduce the impact of dust on the nearby villages; planning transportation routes of mined material so as to reach the nearest paved roads by shortest route (minimize transportation over unpaved road); regular water sprinkling on unpaved roads to avoid dust generation during transportation etc.

The following measures are suggested to mitigate any negative impacts of mining:

 Planned multiple transportation routes in different direction to minimize the dust generation.  Planned paved roads outside mine lease area to minimize the dust generation. Alternatively, planning transportation routes so as to reach the nearest paved roads by shortest route. (Minimize transportation over unpaved road).  Frequent water sprinkling on unpaved roads (>2L/m2).  Plantation of trees along haul roads, especially near settlements, to reduce the impact of dust on the nearby villages.  Dust mask shall be provided to the workers engaged at dust ge1neration points like excavations and loading points.  Transportation of material shall be carried out during day time only.  The speed of trucks plying on the haul road should limited to 20 km/hour to avoid generation of dust.  Covering of material by tarpaulin during transportation on trucks to prevent spillage of materials from the trucks.  Overloading shall be avoided. Movement of Traffic-

 Noise Pollution It can be stated that the impact on the present noise levels due to mining operations will be minimal and shall be restricted to transportation route only. There is no drilling and blasting envisaged in sand mining so there will be no impact of vibration.

The trucks will be covered by tarpaulin. Overloading will be avoided.

• Regular water sprinkling on unpaved roads to avoid dust generation during transportation. Remedial Measures for Water Pollution

 Mining is proposed to plan above the ground water table. Therefore, pumping of ground water from mine pit does not arise in this mine. The rain water during rainy season is proposed to settle in a pit and shall be use for dust suppression and plantation. Excess water, if any shall be discharged in natural stream after settling of suspended particles in the pit. Pump having required capacity will be installed to lift accumulated rain water from working pit and pumped to the settling tank.  Garland drain shall be made around the Waste dump and the rain water shall be collected in garland drain and allowed to settle in a small pit for settling suspended particles before allowing discharge to natural drainage system.  For domestic waste water Septic Tank with Soak Pit shall be provided, discharge from Soak Pit, if any shall be used for plantation

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

Remedial Measures for Land Environment Some of the measures followed to minimize the impacts are as follows:

 The mining activities will be restricted within the lease area only.  The waste material will be utilized for the construction of road and also will be used by the local people for construction work.  The surface run off from the lease area will be retain within the lease and used for plantation, dust suppression and block cutting. So, there will be no soil erosion from the lease area and its surrounding due to mining activity.  The dump will have inward slope with catch drains at inward side of the terrace and the catch drain of the individual terrace will be connected to the garland drain outside the periphery of the dump. Retaining wall and garland drain will be constructed around the dumps and the surface runoff water pass through the garland drain and finally settled in a settling pit before released outside.  Retaining wall and garland drains for the proposed waste dump will be constructed to arrest wash offs from the dump.  Maintenance/ repair of vehicles and machineries will not be inside the mining area. However, steel trays will be used for any emergency repair and sudden leakage of oil. Remedial Measures for Waste Management The solid waste shall be dumped systematically with proper repose angle and stabilization as follows:  Gradation of dump shall be done automatically as coarser materials go to the bottom and finer at the top and therefore drain of rain water flow freely to the bottom without endangering the stability of dump.  Stabilization of dump with top soil and tree plantation shall make the dump more stable on long. Dump should be terraced for every 5 m height and stabilized  1m height parapet shall be constructed for dumps more than 6m height along the toe to prevent and control wash out from dumps entering into natural system through rain water  Garland drainage around dump shall prevent under wash of dump by hydrostatic pressure to be developed by surface water and control wash outs and collapse.

Remedial Measures for Flora and Fauna Extensive plantation comprising of pollutant resistant trees will be undertaken, which will serve not only as pollution sink but also as a noise barrier. It is proposed to include Azadirachta indica, and Ficus religiosa in the plantation program as they serve as sinks for gaseous emissions.

The impact on the fauna of the buffer zone due to the mining activity will be insignificant. The proposed progressive plantation over a period of time will reduce the impact, if any, on the fauna.

Chapter - 17 RISK ASSESSMENT & DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

 RISK ASSESSMENT FOR SAND MINING

Since the Sand Mining Operation does not attract Mine Act 1952, it does not require any statutory personals, however the entire operation must be under the supervision of experience qualified person who can handle the labour employment effectively. The person must have knowledge of transportation activities with traffic rule & safety. It is always advisable to appoint such person who can understand the language of Mine plan & implement the same.

1. As such in case of sand mining activities does not have any short of risk in operational activity except prior to start the monsoon period all the manpower & equipment’s to be withdrawn to safe location.

2. In case of temporary discontinuation of operation due to natural calamity or labour strike & Risk management plan to be developed based in the local condition. ACCIDENTS DUE TO TRANSPORTATION AND MOVEMENT OF MINING MACHINERIES Risk Most of the accidents occur during transportation by tippers/ trucks and movement of Mining machineries. Mitigation Measures

 This can be prevented by regular training of all vehicle/machinery drivers/operators, regular maintenance of equipment and ensuring safe operations.  All safety precautions and provision of MMR 1961 shall be strictly followed during all mining operations.  Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer's guidelines.  All transportation within the main working area should be carried out under the direct supervision and control of the management;  The vehicles must be maintained in good repairs and checked thoroughly at least once a week by a competent person authorized for this purpose by the management;  Broad signs should be provided at each and every turning point specially for the guidance of the drivers of vehicles.

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 126

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

 To avoid dangers while reversing the trackless vehicles, especially at the embankment and tripping points, all areas for reversing of lorries should, as far as possible, be made man free, and there should be a light and sound device to indicate reversing of trucks; and  A statutory provision of the fence, constant education, training etc. will go a long way in reducing the incidence of such accidents.

RISK ASSESSMENT

HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ASSESSMENT (HIRA) The entire mining operation will be done under the supervision of the Mines Engineer/Mines manager having second class mines manager's certificate of competency and supported by a team of competent persons. Nevertheless, the following natural/industrial problems may by encountered during the mining operation:

 Accident due to Blasting / Fly-rock generation  Slope failure at Mine faces  Accident due to sliding of Over Burden dumps  Accident due to Transportation or movement of heavy machineries  Operation of mining equipment  Accident due to use of explosive  Accident due to storage of Fuel  Filling of Mine due to excessive rain RISK AND MITIGATION MEASURES OVER BURDEN Risk

The overburden dumps may cause landslides. High overburden dumps created at the quarry edge may cause sliding of the overburden dump or may cause failure of the pit slope due to excessive loading, thereby causing loss of life and property. Siltation of surface water may also cause run-off from overburden dumps. Mitigation Measures  To prevent the failure of overburden slopes, especially during the rainy season, proper garland drain & bund are constructed around the dump.

 To prevent this, height of overburden dumps will be restricted. Further, no stone or loose rock or loose tree will be allowed to remain within 3 meters of the edge of the quarry. To prevent siltation of surface water, retaining wall will be constructed on the down side of each OB dump.

ACCIDENTS DUE TO TRANSPORTATION AND MOVEMENT OF MINING MACHINERIES Risk Most of the accidents occur during transportation by tippers/ trucks and movement of Mining machineries.

 Operations of jackhammers are often attributable to mechanical failures and human errors. Mitigation Measures

 This can be prevented by regular training of all vehicle/machinery drivers/operators, regular maintenance of equipment and ensuring safe operations.  All safety precautions and provision of MMR 1961 shall be strictly followed during all mining operations.  Regular maintenance and testing of all mining equipment as per manufacturer's guidelines.  All transportation within the main working area should be carried out under the direct supervision and control of the management;  The vehicles must be maintained in good repairs and checked thoroughly at least once a week by a competent person authorized for this purpose by the management;  Broad signs should be provided at each and every turning point specially for the guidance of the drivers of vehicles.  To avoid dangers while reversing the trackless vehicles, especially at the embankment and tripping points, all areas for reversing of lorries should, as far as possible, be made man free, and there should be a light and sound device to indicate reversing of trucks; and  A statutory provision of the fence, constant education, training etc. will go a long way in reducing the incidence of such accidents. FUEL STORAGE

 No major storage of fuel envisaged in the mining lease area WATER LOGGING Risk

Filling of mine pit with excessive rain Mitigation Measures

 Provision of adequate capacity pumps for pumping out water from the mining pit with standby arrangements.  Checking and regular maintenance of garland drainage and earthen bunds to avoid any inflow of surface water into the mine pit.

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 128

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

 Proper drainage will be maintained to eliminate inundation of working pits during rains from run-off water. Suitable garland drain will be provided around pit along with sedimentation pits on each side.  There is no danger of flood or inundation as the ground level is well below the plateau top, where mining will be carried out.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE DURING TEMPORARY DISCONTINUANCE: In case of emergency arise as situation of temporary discontinuance due to court order or due to statutory requirements or any other unforeseen circumstances pit will be fenced and locked properly so as no one can enter in pit. All plantation will be protected with all due care for their survival. Maintenance and monitoring of discontinued mining operations i.e. maintenance of haul roads, will be done in view of re-open in near future.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN  Vulnerability of the State

West Bengal has been no exception as far as sufferings inflicted by natural and man-made hazards are concerned. The state has been frequented by cyclones, floods, droughts, landslides, subsidence and occasional earthquakes. Progressive trends of any region are controlled to a large ex- tent by the requirements of the inhabitants, agriculture, industries, transportation, communication, education and culture, which generally form the vulnerability attributes. Because of the high population density and concentration of industrial and agricultural activities across West Bengal, risk or vulnerability to natural or man-made disasters is particularly high. With increasing developmental activities in high- hazard zones, e.g. the coastal regions, the vulnerability scenario appears to be worsening with time.

 The Regional Perspectives

The prevailing hazards are seen interlinked to each other in many cases. Nevertheless, individualistic hazard scenario is reviewed in the regional context to understand the needs and priority distribution.

 Floods

Approximately 55.8% of the region is susceptible to floods. Furthermore, complicacy is implicated by the origination of major flood-producing rivers beyond the state jurisdictional limits.

An outline of flood management

A monograph on flood management prepared on the basis of hands-on experience of the State Government officials recommends a standard operating procedure. Three phases of actions are specified: pre-flood, during flood and post-flood. The pre-flood phase activities consist of preparatory measures, which involve vulnerability assessment, personnel and organizational database development, viable emergency action plan such as deployment of

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 129

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District early warning system, training of personnel for rescue and evacuation, verification and updating of existing search, rescue and evacuation plans, and inventories of essential commodities and relief materials. A district disaster management committee is expected to be coordinated before the onset of the monsoon season to ensure adequate preparedness. Participation of various government and non-governmental organizations is anticipated in knowledge and expertise sharing. Strategic planning focuses on hazard elements and formulates actions such as construction, restoration or improvement of drainage channels, and removal of human encroachment along the riverbanks. On the very onset of the hazard, the highest priority is on ‘search, rescue and evacuation’, in addition to ‘organization of relief facilities’. Quick and correct dam- age assessment would enable speedy restoration and re- habilitation in terms of physical, economic and social aspects. The disaster related information should be well documented to enable future management plans. The overall impetus at the national and global level is on preparedness and mitigation 7, 8. Several recent com- missions have been formed at the national level, such as National Water Policy, 1987; National Commission for Integrated Water Resource Development Plan, 1996 and Regional Task Forces, 1996, and the ensuing recommendations adopted. However, effectiveness of recommendations seems to be lacking in several cases. The National Commission for Integrated Water Resources Development, 1999, recommended management approach rather than control, emphasizing failure to render complete protection. The strategies include flood-plain zoning, flood proofing, forecasting, disaster preparedness, response planning and insurance, etc. In respect of flood-plain zoning, the National Commission on Floods–1980 proposed a legislation to classify flood-prone zones according to occurrence and intensity. However, in West Bengal, the problem is rather vexing due to high population density and large flood-prone areas. While it is imperative to pre- vent encroachment of river beds, it is not feasible to relocate structures and developmental activities from all the hazard-prone areas. In recent times, flood forecasting is advancing with utilization of satellite and remote-sensing techniques. If the approaching flood can be predicted/ observed, evacuation through monitoring and warning is possible.

 Cyclones And Storm Surges West Bengal has been one of the most cyclone-affected territories of the country. Perspectives on cyclone management The Cyclone Distress Mitigation Committee was launched nationwide during 1969 for the coastal states, with a major objective to formulate a communication system for quick dissemination of meteorological warnings and prevention measures thereof. The World Meteorological Organization established in 1972, introduced a Tropical Cyclone Project to assist member countries in increasing their capabilities to forecast tropical cyclones, and in developing strategies for disaster prevention and preparedness. At the state level, the Relief Department has developed a disaster-management system, outlining sustainable development with disaster mitigation at state and district levels13. This involved delineation of planning areas for departmental activities, including those at the village level within two frameworks – prevention and crisis management. The approach embodies integrated coastal environmental planning combined with cyclone mitigation strategies to reduce susceptibility. The strategies include development of accurate and prompt cyclone-warning systems, design and construction of robust structures (‘cyclone proofing’ through incorporation of storage and sleeping areas high-off the ground and use of water- resistant materials), implementation of hazard-reduction methods such as construction and strengthening of sea embankment, drains, shelterbelts, conservation and promotion of natural windbreakers (mangrove), reliable communication system, mass awareness on preparedness

Prepared As Per Ministry of Environment, Forest And Climate Change Notification S. O. 3611 (E), Dated 25th July 2018 130

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District and mitigation, and community preparedness at all levels to meet the exigencies. Further, landuse planning is suggested to reduce the risk. Timely relay of information is of utmost importance. In this respect, a cyclone dissemination sys- tem has been set up by India Meteorological Department at Kolkata. Special addresses are given to cyclone fore- cast and warning services, rapid dissemination of warnings to the government agencies, ports, fisheries, shipping, the general public, and organizations to construct cyclone shelters in cyclone-prone areas and ready machinery for evacuation of people, and involvement of the local community. The Meteorological Department has been equipped with cyclone surveillance radars, and satellite picture-receiving equipment. Further, Indian geo-stationary satellite INSAT- 1B (operative since 1983) has enhanced tracking and fore- casting through continuous monitoring. The operations are carried out through Area Cyclone Warning Centres and Cyclone Warning Centres. The present scientific knowledge and tools enable predictions with an average error of about 200 km for a 24 h forecast. Formulation of contingency plans must be done at all levels – community, government and civil society. Fore- casting and early warning systems involve coordination by a steering committee for continual appraisal and improvement in the analyses of different forecasting methods, facilitating resources sharing and collaborations, training of personnel, and capacity enhancement. The working plan for an integrated coastal zone and flood control developed for the state addresses natural windbreak development and preservation, assessment of impacts and risks, com- munity participation, education and awareness, and village-level planning. Technical aspects include a multi- disciplinary approach towards environmental and social concerns, water-flow management, relocation/resettlement if needed, and designing break waves and sea walls. Preparedness implies mitigation and prevention rather than just response. Therefore, the need to link disaster management with development plans.

 Landslides

The landslide hazard in West Bengal has been observed mostly in the hilly terrains of Darjeeling District. However, incidents of landslide have also been reported to have occurred on the banks of . In 1968, floods in the Darjeeling area destroyed vast areas of West Bengal and neighbouring state of Sikkim by unleashing about 20,000 landslides and killing thousands of people16. These landslides occurred over a three-day period, with precipitation ranging from 500 to 1000 mm in an event of a 100-yr return period. The 60 km hilly highway from Siliguri to Darjeeling was cut off at 92 locations by land- slides, resulting in total disruption of the road transporta- tion system. Urbanization, especially in the hilly terrains, involving construction activities often causes perturbations in the hill slopes triggering landslides. Prior identification of the hazard potential is therefore necessary. Major tools em- ployed for hazard delineation include remote sensing and GIS techniques. Various thematic layers describing the geological characteristics, water conditions, material prop- erties, topographical inclinations, seismic activities, pre- diction of soil behaviour under load, etc. are considered for the thematic integration to achieve hazard zonation.

District Survey Report of Minor Mineral of Nadia District

 Earthquakes

West Bengal experiences earthquakes at a relatively lower frequency of the seismic hazard zonation map. The Bureau of Indian Standards places the region in the seismic zones II–IV, corresponding to peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.25 (1 g = 980 Gal) respectively 2, 19. The lowest perceived hazard, zone II, is in the southwestern part of West Bengal (Purulia), while zone IV covers the north and southeast of Kolkata. Zone V is delineated on the eastern parts of Jalpaiguri and Coochbehar. The districts of Kolkata, Murshidabad, Birbhum, Bardhaman, Hooghly, Howrah, Nadia, Bankura and East and West Midnapur come under zone III. Darjeeling, North and South Dina- jpur, the remaining parts of Jalpaiguri and Coochbehar, North and South 24-Parganas and Malda fall under zone IV. Similarly, the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Programme classifies the seismic hazard variation in terms of PGA from low (0.2 m/s2) in the southwest to high (6.0 m/s2 and above) in the north, with 10% probability of non-exceedance in 50 years20. The earthquakes mostly occur either in the Himalayan ranges in the north or in Northeast India, and a few also occur in the Bengal Basin/ Fan areas. The Great Assam earthquake of 1897 is reported to have caused widespread damage in Kolkata. The largest instrument-recorded earthquake occurred on 15 April 1964, West of Sagar Island (mb 5.2), which caused damages in West Bengal and Orissa. The region has considerable area close to river basins and deltas that are characterized by Holocene alluvium deposits, which are likely to soften and hence are susceptible to liquefaction during an earthquake. Considerable spatial variation is associated with seismic hazards owing to the variation of geological-dependent site response22. This necessitates local specific analysis, especially in urban areas where the implications are far higher. The utility of seismic microzonation is emphasized in such cases. Seismic microzonation combines geological, geotechnical, seismological and earthquake engineering approaches towards spatial hazard classification. The zonation enables decision-making process towards planning and organization of landuse, response and mitigation. The site-specific design parameters obtained through microzonation would enable cost-effective structural designs.

 Tsunamis

Although hazards due to trans-oceanic tsunamis have not been quantified for the coastal areas of West Bengal, because of the presence of mangroves and shallow continental shelf (unlithified fan deposits at the mouth of the Meghna– Ganges estuary) extending to several hundred kilometres, tsunamis are unlikely to pose a significant hazard. As such, there is no report of damage in the territory due to the catastrophic tsunami earthquake of 26 December 2004. However, any future offshore developments off the coast may be affected by tsunamis

 Subsidence

Subsidence hazard has been exhibited in underground coal mining areas of the state, such as Raniganj and Asansol. A fundamental preventive approach towards avoidance of adverse impacts of the hazard is reliable prediction and the ensuing geotechnical considerations. The techniques involve tomography–sub-surface mapping, subsidence profiles and behaviour model, e.g. viscoelastic model.

 Conclusion

The predominant natural hazards in the West Bengal territory are investigated through historical accounts and prevailing mitigation aspects. A preliminary integrated perspective on the prevailing hazards has been qualitatively estimated as a first-order composite vulnerability distribution across the state. Consequently, a holistic outlook of disaster management as envisaged is emphasized to incorporate (a) collaborations of different organizations, local participation, (c) inputs from scientific and research institutions, (d) awareness and promotion, and (e) delivering appropriate regulations and policies. Addressing multiple hazards, such as usage of multi-hazard maps, synergized methodologies, etc. is recommended to be more pragmatic.
